The club meeting place at the docks is at Baltic Wharf. This is at the western end of the docks (nearest the sea), near the harbour master’s office, just behind the Cottage Inn. You get there by travelling along Cumberland Road, which runs along between the docks and the new cut. Our club boat store is in the Dutch Barn, behind the Cottage Inn, next to the the pub’s car-park.

The water quality and testing in Bristol Harbour.
Water quality has improved significantly over the last thirty years; however, sudden heavy rainfall still causes changes in the water quality from time to time.
Weekly and monthly bacteriological water samples are taken throughout the harbour to monitor the water quality and record trends.
Health risks associated with open water do exist, but can be reduced, provided users are aware of the possible hazards.
In times of poor water quality, resampling will take place and harbour users are advised to take extra care and precaution and see the health advice information available at the Harbour Office and below:
